However, achieving effective coupling between Rydberg atoms and the microwave electric field in the sensing process is a challenging problem that greatly impacts the sensitivity. To address this, we propose using a microwave resonant cavity to enhance the effective coupling between the Rydberg atoms and the microwave electric field. In our experiment, Rydberg atoms are prepared via a three-photon excitation scheme, and the electric fields are measured without and with a microwave cavity in which the vapor cell is placed inside, respectively. As a result, we achieved an 18 dB enhancement of power sensitivity by adding the cavity,which is an effective enhancement in electric field pulse signal detection. This experimental testing provides a promising direction for enhancing the sensitivity of Rydberg atomic electric field sensors and paves the way for their application in precision electric field measurements.展开更多

The cavity ring down（CRD） signal is acquired simultaneously and used for normalizing the LIF signal and determining the relationship between the measured CELIF signal and the NO2 number density.

Enhanced oil recovery methods were studied considering the development practice of Tahe oilfield. Research shows that the main controlling factors of residual oil distribution after water flooding in fracture-cavity carbonate reservoirs can be classified into four categories: local high point, insufficient well control, flow channel shielding and weak hydrodynamic. It is a systematic project to improve oil recovery in fracture-cavity carbonate reservoirs. In the stage of natural depletion, production should be well regulated to prevent bottom water channeling. In the early stage of waterflooding, injection-production relationship should be constructed according to reservoir type, connectivity and spatial location to enhance control and producing degree of waterflooding and minimize remaining oil. In the middle and late stage, according to the main controlling factors and distribution characteristics of remaining oil after water flooding, remaining oil should be tapped precisely by making use of gravity differentiation and capillary force imbibition, enhancing well control, disturbing the flow field and so on. Meanwhile, backup technologies of reservoir stimulation, new injection media, intelligent optimization etc. should be developed, smooth shift from water injection to gas injection should be ensured to maximize oil recovery.展开更多

Adding distributed Bragg reflection （DBR） mirrors to the single-photon detector （SPD）, we improve the light absorption efficiency of the SPD. The effects of the reflectivity of the mirrors, the thickness and light absorption coefficient of the absorbing layer on the detector＇s light absorption efficiency are investigated, and the resonant cavity is determined by using the air/semiconductor interface as the mirror on the top. Through analyzing the relationship between the refractive index of AlxGal_xAs and A1 component, we choose A1As/Alo.15Gao.85As as the material of the mirror on the bottom. The pairs of A1As/Alo.15Gao.85As film are further determined to be 21 by calculating the reflectivity of the mirror. The detector is fabricated from semiconductor heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The reflection spectrum, photoluminescence （PL） spectrum, photocurrent response, and channel current of the detector are tested and the results show that the RCEQDFET-SPD designed in this paper has better performances in photonic response and wavelength selection.展开更多

This paper first presents a review of finesse measurement techniques, including a comparative analysis of the advantages, disadvantages, and potential limitations of several main methods from both theoretical and practical perspectives. A variant of the existing method called the free spectral range(FSR) modulation method is proposed and compared with three other finesse measurement methods, i.e., the fast-switching cavity ring-down(CRD) method, the rapidly swept-frequency(SF) CRD method, and the ringing effect method. A high-power OEC platform with a high finesse of approximately 16000 is built and measured with the four methods. The performance of these methods is compared, and the results show that the FSR modulation method and the fast-switching CRD method are more suitable and accurate than the other two methods for high-finesse OEC measurements. The CRD method and the ringing effect method can be implemented in open loop using simple equipment and are easy to perform. Additionally, recommendations for selecting finesse measurement methods under different conditions are proposed, which benefit the development of OEC and its applications.展开更多

文摘The ability to control nonclassical light emission from a single quantum emitter by an integrated cavity may unleash new perspectives for integrated photonic quantum applications.However,coupling a single quantum emitter to cavity within photonic circuitry towards creation of the Purcell-enhanced single-photon emission is elusive due to the complexity of integrating active devices in low-loss photonic circuits.Here we demonstrate a hybrid micro-ring resonator(HMRR)coupled with self-assembled quantum dots(QDs)for cavity-enhanced deterministic single-photon emission.The HMRR cavity supports whispering-gallery modes with quality factors up to 7.8×103.By further introducing a micro-heater,we show that the photon emission of QDs can be locally and dynamically tuned over one free spectral ranges of the HMRR(~4 nm).This allows precise tuning of individual QDs in resonance with the cavity modes,thereby enhancing single-photon emission with a Purcell factor of about 4.9.Our results on the hybrid integrated cavities coupled with two-level quantum emitters emerge as promising devices for chip-based scalable photonic quantum applications.

文摘Conventional frequency-sweep interferometry is unreliable for noncooperative or long-distance targets owing to scattering on the target surface.Hence,this paper proposes a laser frequency-swept carrier(LFSC)ranging method based on resonant cavity enhancement for long-distance noncooperative target measurements and weak-signal detection.Experimental verification revealed that for a target comprising an oxidized black aluminum plate at a distance of 16 m,the standard deviation of 10 measurements was less than 70μm,measurement accuracy exceeded 27μm,and system ranging resolution exceeded 0.13 mm when the target feedback light was very weak.This method is useful for measurements of noncooperative targets,eg.,large-scale component assembly,industrial measurement,and biomedical testing.

文摘Microwave-enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(ME-LIBS)is a promising analysis technique for trace element detection with the advantage of high signal intensity.However,the shot-to-shot repeatability of the ME-LIBS signal is relatively low,which affects the precision of the result and limits quantification performance.A cavity confinement microwave-enhanced laser-induced plasma(CC-ME-LIP)modulation method is proposed to improve the repeatability of the ME-LIBS signal.During the plasma evolution,cavity confinement provides an environment that regulates plasma around the microwave probe,controls plasma expansion,and minimizes interaction with the atmosphere.This behavior enhances the stability of the plasma morphology,leading to improved signal repeatability.In addition,confinement increases the energy transfer process within the plasma by the superimposition of two methods,resulting in a stronger signal intensity.The CC-ME-LIP modulation method is applied to the brass sample.The relative standard deviation(RSD)of the different copper and zinc lines has been reduced,along with an improvement of the intensity enhancement factor(IEF).For example,Cu 521.820 nm line RSD reduced from 29.11%(ME-LIBS)to 17.12%(CC-MELIBS)with an IEF of 1.08.The result demonstrated that the proposed approach significantly improves the repeatability of the ME-LIBS signal,thereby increasing the overall signal quality.To gain a deeper understanding,a detailed analysis of the mechanisms behind the increased signal intensity and improved repeatability was further investigated.
